More noticeable veins?

Don't know if this is related to lyme or co-infections, but in my shoulders, arms, and chest I have more noticeable blue veins over the past month. Never had that before where you can see them so clearly. Anyone experience this? Not painful - just doesn't look right. Brought it up to my primary doc and he didn't seem concerned (just checked my bp which was fine). Haven't found much info on it searching online which I guess is a good thing that it is likely insignificant.

This has happened to my son as well and I asked about this but got a response of well hes fair skinned. This didnt happen before Lyme/Bartonella so not normal. If I find out anything on this as well I will post.

28. Skin findings showing increased blood vessels of any size29. Skin findings showing increased tissue formation that is increased over the flatness of surface skin.30. Skin showing blood vessels that are too large or too many for the location of the blood vessels, e.g., surface thigh and calf skin with very thick surface blood vessels. Or legs, upper arms or shoulders have explosions of many fine blood vessels.

Yesterday I was changing my clothes and I could see veins all over my body lighting up - intense blue... Was like some Halloween movie... except for the angelic face on top of it - mwahahaha (I hope no one will take me too seriously)

I'm herxing so bad, and I feel like having a huge Bartonella flare (or probably herx)...

Glad I'm experiencing a new thing, I was getting bored with all the rest... at least this is easthetic

Yes! I feel like I should be an X-Men character. Mine hurt too. Feels like they are " constricting." Very strange!+ Lyme culture 12/9/2013. +Bartonella, Myco, EBV, HH6. Not sure when I contracted Lyme, but have had mostly neuro symptoms for 15+ years. Taking Samento, Banderol, and A-Bart and a bunch of other herbs and supplements. Will start Doxy soon

My veins in my arms are doing the same thing. The left arm is more noticeable and the veins on the back side of my arm hurt. One thing I've noticed is that if I raise my arm above my heart, they stop bulging and hurting. Should I be worried about this? I had a full cardiac work up with holster monitor and treadmill stress test and he said I have absolutely no issues with my heart, but the vein thing is starting to freak me out.

I too experience this, I thought from pregnancies, during pregnancy it's normal, but it didn't go away. I notice them more too, very blue and I'm not fair.Excuse typos and or spelling and grammatical errors. I try to proofread, it's hard right now. Believed to be infected at least 28 yrs, dx 2012. Kiddos with congenital lyme. I am a nurse but a sick stay at home mom currently.

omg same here, the blue veins suddenly bigger/visible all over my body.. yet another thing freaking me out lately.....so glad to find this thread and incredibly relieved to know this can be reversed with the body healing.

I noticed some years ago that when I was hurting the most the veins on my hands and fingers and sometimes my fore arms would stand out very blue. Bulging above my skin. It usually coincided with excessive pressure pain that I used to say felt like sand running through my veins.

Do any of you bleed under the skin excessively when you run into something, or when you get a little cut?

I bumped my arm, not even hard, into the corner of my buffet again and we watched the 'bruise' grow from a pencil tip mark to near black/purple spread to the size bigger than a silver dollar in less than a minute. There's a bad lump in the middle of it.Only very seldom do I take a 1/4 aspirin because I'm prone to clots, not enough to warrant this. A few years after I first got infected I showed rabbits and if one of them scratched me on the arm I'd have to wrap it because I'd bleed like a stuck pig for about an hour.

My husband has bart and Lyme. The nurses can never find his veins. Then if they find one, it rolls and they have a lot of trouble drawing blood. We usually have 2-3 different nurses coming in to stick him.

Girlie, they say his veins are small, and I think they are rubbery, so when they try to stick one, it rolls away from the needle, and they don't get any blood. It is really a problem to have those veins. Mine, on the other hand, can be seen from across the street, so the nurses never have to stick me but once.

They move and are squishy .likely from low bp ..and infections in the endothelial lining...i had to get a port ...nurse was hitting then missing ...also rest of me got smaller making hand viens and foot veins more noticable
